Hi
boils in children are most probably bacterial infection n usually need topical or oral antibiotics.It is spread by contaminated hands since children r more prone to touch dirt n dust while playing n hav low immunity during 0-8 yr.they even may catch it from friends siblings or parents.also contaminated oil massages shud b avoided.
Hand washing with simple soap n water is the best way to prevent infections.
Thnx
